Skydiving 0:09 This is a story about skydiving. You'll find out how to do casual introductions, what it 0:15 means to say 'same here' and what sort of weather 'comes in'. 0:22 Today we are going for the skydiving thing. I'm not sure I will jump, you know. 0:29 I can't jump couple of stairs and now I'll be jumping from 10,000 feet high. 0:35 Oh my God. With no rope at all and a person tied to me. 0:44 That is going to be a good experience and I don't know. I don't know. 0:54 She says, "I will jump" and "I'll be jumping". They mean the same thing - she will jump in 1:03 the future. 1:16 Notice that if you use 'be', you must use the -ing form - will be jumping. 1:23 Will jump, will be jumping. Listen again:1:28 I'm not sure I will jump, you know. I can't jump couple of stairs and now I'll be jumping 1:34 from 10,000 feet high. 1:37 When Preeti meets the man who will jump with her, they introduce themselves casually, like 1:42 this:1:43 Preeti is it. Yes, it is. I'm Adam. How you going? Nice to meet you. I'm good. Same here. 1:47 Preeti replies to 'nice to meet you' with 'same here'. 1:52 Preeti is it? I'm Adam. How you going? Nice to meet you. I'm good. Same here. 1:56 You say 'same here' to agree. In this exchange, 'same here' means 'nice 2:04 to meet you'. 2:07 Now listen to Adam explaining some things about the dive. 2:10 Now, we'll freefall for about 35 seconds. Yes. And then I'll open the parachute. Okay. 2:14 Now, I can't talk to you in freefall. We'll be doing about 200 kilometres an hour. Alright,2:19 so it's a bit noisy. Yes. So the only signals you're going to get in freefall is a tap on 2:22 the shoulders, bring your arms out. 2:25 He uses the word 'now' to emphasise that what he is saying is important:2:30 Now, we'll freefall for about 35 seconds. Now, I can't talk to you in freefall. We'll 2:34 be doing about 200 kilometres an hour. 2:36 So what can go wrong? 2:37 Weather came in on us because there's a front coming through. It's got lightning in it and 2:56 the cloud has come over and we're not allowed to jump through cloud. So it's not safe so 3:01 we're bringing them back down. 3:02 The weather can 'come in'. Weather that 'comes in' is usually a storm. 3:10 What do you say when storm clouds go away? 3:12 What happens now? Well, we can wait for the weather. We'll probably go on a weather hold 3:18 now and wait until the weather clears. 3:20 Wait until the weather clears. Clouds 'come over' or 'come in' and then they 'clear'. 3:30 So what happens when they clear? 3:33 It's too high, very, very high. 3:36 Where's he? 3:40 He's gone. Oh my God. 3:52 He's gone. Notice that he uses the past participle of go, gone. 3:58 Where's he? He's gone. Oh my God. 4:09 You use past participles such as gone with 'he's', which is a contraction of 'he is' 4:18 or 'he has'. 4:21 We'll finish by finding out if Preeti will jump or will be jumping:4:25 Ready to go? Yes. Alright, a big smile for the camera. No! Alright. 4:34 It was just fraction of some seconds. He says, "Put your left leg out," and I thought, "I'm 4:40 not prepared. No way leg out." And first thought, I intend to stop myself and then I pushed 4:46 myself out so that I can jump. 4:54 Oh my God! How was that Preeti? That was fantastic! That 's good!
